Argonne National Laboratory scientists using the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source have devised a way to combine pharmaceutical compounds to increase solubility, lessen required dose amount, reduce side effects, and remove the need for refrigeration.

Synchrotron X-ray techniques and the extreme brightness of Advanced Photon Source X-rays were employed by DuPont scientists using the DuPont-Northwestern-Dow Collaborative Access Team x-ray beamline at the Advanced Photon Source to characterize the metal oxide contents of candidate substitute catalysts, helping in the development of SUVA®, a reliable, proven, and safe hydrofluorocarbon alternative to chlorofluorocarbons.

A new long-life battery built to aid utility companies in meeting the growing energy demands created by electric vehicles and the integration of solar and wind power on the national power grid was developed with the help of high-energy X-rays.

Argonne National Laboratory scientists working with industry at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) have developed new techniques to more accurately map out the global distribution of pore sizes and how that distribution changes across the reserve bed as pressure for extraction is applied.

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) gives scientists access to high-energy, high-brightness, highly penetrating X-ray beams that are ideal for studying the arrangements of molecules and atoms, probing the interfaces where materials meet, determining the interdependent form and function of biological proteins, and watching chemical processes that happen on the nanoscale.
